And. when President Johnson assumed a bunting position with one of Carl's bat for photographers the Red Sox star said: "You're big enough lo be a home run hitter." And, that's the way it went as Yaz, his wife, Carol, his parents, Red Sox manager Dick Williams and a series of other baseball greats met with the President. On hand were House Speaker John W.

This would include depth sounding and underwater topographical equipment as well as electronics and communications gear. The Defense Department said the seizure took place 25 miles off the North Korean coast although the position officials gave appeared to be as close as 17 miles to the coast.
